Building the sampling driver from vtune_amplifier_2018.3.0.558279 fails on CentOS 6

[obfuscated]

I'm trying to build the sampling driver from this release, but the build fails. The system is fully up to date. Building the sampling driver for 2017.4 works fine.

This is the log:

Hi,

Known issue, fixed in Vtune 2019 Beta Update and will be fixed in next Vtune 2018 updates.

Please don't use drivers from 2017 releases they are incompatible with latest RHEL/CentOS kernels and might crash you machine.

[obfuscated]

Thanks for the reply.

Do you have some rough estimates when this 2018 update will be released?

[Ekaterina_L_Intel]

Hello,

Please download updated sepdk with respective fixes from https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-vtune-amplifier-sampling-driver-downloads

Let us know if you see any problems with it.

The fixes are included into coming releases of VTune Amplifier 2018 Update 4 and VTune Amplifier 2019.

Regards, Katya

I downloaded the update referenced, sepdk_v4_573462.tar.gz, but I still see the same error.

sepdk/src/pebs.c:55:32: error: asm/cpu_entry_area.h: No such file or directory

Hello Matthew,

Investigation revealed that 2.6.32-754.3.5 kernel requires additional changes in sampling v4 drivers.

Please find updated sepdk_v4_574913.tar.gz with latest fixes attached to this post and let us know if you see any further issues with it.

Regards, Katya
